printed. 


Department  of  the  Interior, 

February  11,  1861. 

Sir:  I  have  the  honor  to  enclose  herewith,  for  the  consideration  of 
Congress,  a  communication  from  F.  W.  Lander,  superintendent  of  the 
Fort  Kearney,  South  Pass,  and  Honey  Lake  wagon  road,  and  several 
petitions,  numerously  signed  by  emigrants,  in  reference  to  the  con- 
struction of  a  bridge  across  Green  river  and  some  of  the  smaller 
streams  in  that  vicinity  and  along  said  road. 

There  will  remain  about  $10,000  balance  of  the  appropriation  of 
the  above  road  applicable  to  this  object;  and  I  would  respectfully  call 
the  attention  of  Congress  to  this  work  as  being  of  great  importance  to 
the  overland  emigration,  and  recommend  that  the  additional  sum  of 
$15,000  be  appropriated  to  accomplish  it. 

I  am,  sir.  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

MOSES  KELLY, 

Acting  Secretary, 
Hon.  Wm.  Pennington, 

Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives, 


-2    o 


Washington,  January  5,  1861. 

Sir  :  The  subject  of  the  construction  of  a  bridge  across  Green  river 
has  been  repeatedly  referred  to  in  my  reports  of  previous  years.  In  that 
of  1859  I  related  the  fact  of  my  stationing  a  party  of  men  at  that 
river,  equipped  with  ropes  and  excellent  mule  teams,  by  the  aid  of 
which  the  emigrants  crossed  it  without  much  difficulty,  although 
some  property  was  lost  by  them  and  one  individual  drowned.  At  that 
time  the  emigrants  drew  up  two  petitions  asking  that  this  river  might 
be  bridged,  which^  bearing  several  thousand  signatures,  in  fact,  the 
names  of  all  the  male  individuals  of  their  trains,  were  brought  by 
me  to  Washington  and  referred  to  your  department. 

Last  summer,  while  constructing  the  western  division^  I  again  met 
the  emigration,  and  learned  from  it  that,  from  the  changes  of  the  river 
bars,  the  ford  had  become  nearly  impracticable. 

The  emigrants  argue,  with  much  force^  that  after  leaving  the  old 
road  at  South  Pass  they  make  several  days'  journey  before  reaching 
Green  river.  They  have  then  either  to  attempt  its  passage,  at  much 
risk  of  property  and  life,  or  return  to  the  ferry  of  the  old  road  by  an 
additional  travel  of  two  hundred  miles.  The  force  of  the  current  over 
the  sand  bars  at  the  new  crossing  is  such  as  to  preclude  the  establish- 
ment ot  a  ferry. 

The  News  Fork  is  another  very  dangerous  and  difficult  crossing  on 
the  new  road,  as  well  as  Smith's  Fork  of  Bear  river.  If  you  should 
decide  to  expend  the  balance  of  the  appropriation  in  the  construction 
of  a  bridge  at  Green  river,  it  would  be  expedient  to  add  the  sum  of 
fifteen  thousand  dollars  ($15,000)  to  the  amount  remaining  of  the  ap- 
propriation and  bridge  the  river  below  its  junction  with  the  News 
Fork.  This  sum  would  also  enable  a  party,  once  equipped  and  in  the 
field,  to  bridge  the  Smith's  Fork  of  Bear  river. 

Your  instructions  of  previous  years  have  been  so  explicit  on  the 
subject  of  not  erecting  costly  bridges,  that  I  could  not  do  more  than 
lay  these  facts  before  you  in  my  yearly  reports.  The  view  you  have 
hitherto  taken,  that  the  bridges  would  be  destroyed  by  the  mountain 
traders  owning  ferries  on  the  old  roads,  is  undoubtedly  a  correct  one  ; 
but  if  the  important  crossing  of  Green  river  is  to  be  bridged,  the  ex- 
pedition might  be  directed  to  erect  there  a  common  block-house  and 
blacksmith's  forge,  and  furnish  them  rent  free  to  any  reliable  moun- 
taineer of  former  expeditions.  There  are  several  individuals  who,  if 
thus  provided  for,  would  be  glad  to  remain  at  the  bridge  and  keep  it 
in  order  for  travel.  I  cannot  apprehend  the  destruction  of  a  properly 
constructed  bridge  by  fire. 

INDIANS. 

It  would  be  highly  expedient  to  furnish  the  building  party  with  at 
least  one  thousand  dollars  ($1,000)  worth  of  Indian  goods,  to  procure 
the  further  good  behavior  of  the  Washikee  band  of  Snake  Indians. 
The  well  known  probity  of  Washikee  would  render  any  agreement 
made  with  him  for  the  protection  of  the  bridge  a  perfectly  safe  one. 

Should  jou  direct  the  expedition  to  then  pass  on  towards  California, 


ADDITIONAL   ESTIMATE   FOR   FORT   KEARNEY,   ETC.  3 

which,  regarding  the  sale  of  stock,  would  be  the  most  economical 
course,  I  have  the  honor  to  again  most  urgently  refer  to  my  late  report 
to  the  honorable  Commissioner  of  Indian  Affairs,  detailing  the  causes 
and  circumstances  of  the  late  Pah-Ute  Indian  war.  By  a  conditional 
armistice  concluded  by  me  with  the  leading  war  chief  of  this  tribe, 
hostilities  were  suspended  by  both  the  Indians  and  the  emigrants  and 
border  whites  for  the  space  of  one  year.  But,  on  the  part  of  the 
Indians,  it  was  with  the  express  condition  that  I  should  lay  the  state- 
ment of  the  chief  before  the  authorities  at  Washington,  and  use  my 
best  endeavors  to  procure  some  recognition  of  the  claims  of  the  tribe 
by  government. 

It  will  be  impossible  to  again  pass  the  unprotected  emigration 
through  this  tribe,  as  I  was  enabled  to  do  last  summer,  unless  steps 
are  taken  to  prove  to  the  Indians  the  disposition  of  the  government  to 
notice  their  complaints.  I  have  every  reason  to  know  that  the  Pah- 
Utes  have,  until  very  recently,  been  in  league  with  the  Shoshocos,  and 
if  I  had  possessed  the  authority  to  visit  the  latter  as  well  as  the  Pah- 
Ute  chief,  that  the  massacre  of  emigrants,  referred  to  in  my  report  as 
having  taken  place  near  Salmon  Falls,  might  have  been  prevented. 
While  the  Shoshocos  held  the  upper  road  to  Oregon,  the  Pah-Utes 
had  assembled  in  large  numbers  along  that  to  California,  and  were 
concentrating  to  attack  the  trains  when  the  armistice  was  made. 

Referring  to  my  Indian  report  for  further  information,  I  would  re- 
spectfully suggest  that,  if  the  expedition  be  ordered  to  California, 
such  a  portion  of  the  Indian  funds  as  you  may  deem  expedient  may 
be  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  officer  in  charge,  that  he  may  visit 
the  Pah-Utes  and  lay  before  them  your  views  on  the  subject  of  their 
application  Without  wishing  to  intrude  upon  the  province  of  the 
regular  agent  of  this  tribe,  I  have  simply  to  say  that,  being  thoroughly 
acquainted  with  their  northern  haunts  and  the  points  at  which  they 
usually  assail  emigrants,  I  should  consider  it  a  most  cheerful  duty  to 
again  visit  them,  and  prevent  their  attacking  trains. 

Should  you  instruct  me  to  do  so,  I  have  no  doubt  of  being  able  to 
prevail  on  the  principal  chiefs  to  accompany  me  to  Washington  and 
execute  a  treaty  here. 

They  desire  to  sell  the  lands  now  occupied  by  whites,  or  adjacent 
to  the  settlements,  and  thus  create  a  fund  out  of  which  they  can  be 
taught  to  farm. 

If  these  or  other  steps  are  taken  I  have  reason  to  believe  that  the 
passage  of  the  Pah-Ute  Indian  country  will  be  practicable  to  emi- 
grants, and  that  the  war  of  western  Utah  will  not  be  reopened  by 
those  savages  at  the  close  of  the  stipulated  year. 

The  California  road  between  Fort  Hall  and  Tutt's  Meadows  on  the 
Humboldt  should  either  be  protected  by  mounted  rangers  or  by 
cavalry,  directed  to  keep  the  field  from  June  15  to  the  middle  of  Sep- 
tember. 

This  line  of  country  is  occupied  by  the  Shoshocos  or  Western  Snakes 
and  Pannacks,  during  the  passage  of  the  emigrants,  and  the  late 
trains  are  invariably  attacked.  The  band  of  Snakes  which  frequents 
Salmon  Falls  on  the  Oregon  road,  during  the  fishing  season,  have 
numerous  trails  crossing  the  canon  country  which  divides  Snake  river 


4  ADDITIONAL   ESTIMATE   FOR   FORT   KEARNEY,   ETC. 

from  the  Humboldt,  and  direct  their  aggressions  towards  either  road  as 
opportunities  offer.  No  engagements  made  with  these  Indians  can  be 
regarded  reliable  until  they  are  thoroughly  chastised. 

If  the  regular  troops  are  not  directed  by  the  War  Department  to 
keep  the  field  until  all  the  trains  have  reached  the  Pah-Ute  line, 
there  will  be  no  safety  for  emigrants  while  passing  through  the  Snake 
country. 

If  it  should  be  incompatible  with  your  views  to  carry  out  so  exten- 
sive a  programme  as  is  herewith  submitted,  or  if  Congress  should  fail 
to  pass  the  additional  appropriation,  I  have  the  honor  to  suggest  that 
the  balance  of  the  funds  now  on  hand  be  applied  to  the  bridging  of 
Green  river,  by  a  contract  with  some  responsible  party  who  will  give 
bonds  to  keep  the  structure  in  repair,  by  being  permitted  to  charge  a 
low  rate  of  toll,  say  one-tenth  part  of  the  price  per  wagon  now  paid 
by  emigrants  at  the  ferries  of  the  old  road. 
Very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

F.  W.  LANDER, 


Hon.  Jacob  Thompson, 

Secretary  of  the  Interior. 


Superintendent. 


We,  the  undersigned,  emigrants  to  California  and  Oregon,  having 
just  passed  with  our  wagons  and  stock  over  the  new  government  road 
from  the  South  Pass  to  Fort  Hall,  (called  Lander's  Cut-Off,)  do  hereby 
state  that  the  road  is  abundantly  furnished  with  good  grass,  water, 
and  fuel  ;  there  is  no  alkali  and  no  desert,  as  upon  the  old  road,  and 
while  upon  it  our  stock  improved  and  rapidly  recovered  from  sickness 
and  lameness.  We  were  much  surprised  at  the  great  amount  of  labor 
that  had  been  done  in  cutting  out  the  timber  and  bridging  and 
grading  the  road,  and  in  all  respects  it  more  than  met  our  expecta- 
tions, especially  those  of  us  who  have  heretofore  travelled  the  other 
routes.  But  we  would  most  respectfully  j-uggest  that  a  bridge  should 
be  erected,  as  soon  as  possible,  over  Green  river,  the  fording  ot  which 
is  dangerous  and  the  cause  of  much  trouble  to  the  emigration,  and  in 
one  instance  the  loss  of  life.  We  have  been  treated  kindly  and,  in 
every  case  where  the  circumstances  required  it,  aided  and  assisted  on 
our  way  by  the  wagon  road  expedition,  and  we  have  likewise  received 
the  kindest  treatment  from  the  Indians,  and  we  advise  the  overland 
emigration  to  California  and  Oregon  to  take  this  road,  as  the  shortest 
and  best  adapted  for  the  comforts  of  the  traveller  and  the  preservation 
of  stock,  especially  if  the  government,  in  view  of  the  many  advantages 
of  this  route,  should  cause  Green  river  to  be  bridged.

State  op  California,  Oity  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  ss. 

E.  P.  Ream,  being  duly  sworn,  deposes  and  says  that  he  is  acquainted  with  H.  See- 
mann,  whose  name  is  written  at  the  head  of  the  list  of  names  on  this  sheet ;  that  the  said 
Seemann  acknowledged  to  this  deponent  that  this  is  his  genuine  signature,  and  also 
that  he  wrote  the  names  following  his  at  the  request  of  the  said  parties  thereto,  who  were 
members  of  a  train  of  emigrants  under  his  lead,  bound  to  California. 

E.  P.  REAM. 

Subscribed  and  sworn  to  before  me  October  25,  1859. 

HENRY  HAIGT,  Hotary  Public. 


Fort  Hall, 
Oregon  Territory,  July  15,  1858. 

This  is  to  certify  that  we,  the  undersigned,  have  travelled  over  the 
Pacific  wagon  road,  better  known  as  Lander's  Cut-Ofi*,  and  find  it  a 
very  acceptable  road  for  emigrants.  We  think  it  preferable  to  any 
other  road  across  the  mountains  in  many  respects;  most  of  the  way  it 
is  well  worked,  and  with  a  bridge  across  Green  river  (the  only  stream 
at  all  troublesome)  it  would  be  as  good  a  road  as  many  now  travelled 
in  the  States  ;  it  is  some  five  days'  travel  shorter  than  any  other  road 
across  the  mountains.  There  is  no  desert  to  cross  on  this  route,  no 
alkali  to  kill  your  stock  ;  but  instead,  plenty  of  good  water,  abund- 
ance of  grass,  and  wood  enough  to  satisfy  any  reasonable  man. 
Many  of  the  undersigned  have  crossed  by  other  routes,  and  give  this 
the  preference.

ADDITIONAL   ESTIMATE   FOR   FORT   KEARNEY,   ETC. 


J.  L.  Wagner,  Illinois. 

Oliver  Bowers,  Illinois. 

We,  the  undersigned,  emigrants  to  California  and  Oregon,  having 
just  passed,  with  our  wagons  and  stock,  over  the  new  government  road 
from  the  South  Pass  to  Fort  Hall,  (called  Lander's  Cut- Off,)  do  hereby 
state  that  the  road  is  abundantly  furnished  with  good  grass,  water, 
and  fuel ;  there  is  no  alkali  and  no  desert,  as  upon  the  old  road,  and 
while  upon  it  our  stock  improved  and  rapidly  recovered  from  sickness 
and  lameness. 

We  were  much  surprised  at  the  great  amount  of  labor  that  has  been 
done  in  cutting  out  the  timber  and  bridging  and  grading  the  road, 
and  in  all  respects  it  more  than  met  our  expectations,  especially  those 
of  us  who  have  heretofore  travelled  the  other  routes ;  but  we  would 
respectfully  suggest  that  a  bridge  should  be  erected  as  soon  as  possible 
over  Green  river,  the  fording  of  which  is  dangerous  and  the  cause  of 
much  trouble  to  the  emigration,  and  in  one  instance  the  loss  of  life. 

We  have  been  treated  kindly  and,  in  every  case  where  the  circum- 
stances required  it,  aided  and  assisted  on  our  way  by  the  wagon  road 
expedition,  and  we  have  likewise  received  the  kindest  treatment  from 
the  Indians  ;  and  we  advise  the  overland  emigration  to  California  and 
Oregon  to  take  this  road,  as  the  shortest  and  best  adapted  for  the  com- 
fort of  the  traveller  and  the  preservation  of  stock,  especially  if  the 
government,  in  view  of  the  advantages  of  this  route,  should  cause 
Green  river  to  be  bridged.

ADDITIONAL  ESTIMATE   FOR   FORT  KEARNEY,   ETC  25 

The  undersigned,  emigrants  from  Iowa  and  other  States  to  Califor- 
nia, desire  to  state,  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  may  emigrate  here- 
after, that  they  travelled  the  road  leading  by  Salt  Lake  and  found  it 
very  mountainous  and  rough,  and  most  of  the  streams  on  said  road 
were  bridged  and  ferries  established,  over  which  exorbitant  tolls  were 
exacted  for  the  passage  of  trains  and  teams  ;  and  where  there  were  no 
bridges  or  ferries  over  the  streams  the  fords  were  not  only  difficult  but 
dangerous.  They  would  also  state,  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  may 
emigrate  hereafter,  that  they  were  compelled  to  pay  from  twenty-five 
cents  to  five  cents  per  head  a  night  for  pasturage  of  their  stock  at  Salt 
Lake  and  as  far  up  as  Bear  river,  a  distance  of  nearly  one  hundred 
miles.  That  for  about  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  miles  from  the 
South  Pass,  towards  Salt  Lake  City,  the  country  was  nearly  destitute 
of  grass,  and  might  almost  be  called  a  barren  waste,  and  the  road 
strewn  with  carcasses  and  bones  of  dead  animals  lost  the  present  and 
past  seasons,  caused  doubtless  by  the  great  scarcity  of  grass ;  and  they 
especially  advise  all  future  emigrants  not  to  travel  the  Salt  Lake  road.
